White Papers

An essential conduit for digital transformation projects, the migration to the cloud is here to stay. Yet the reality is that digital environments can often be a security blind spot for organizations who struggle with limited visibility and control, especially as their existing tools are often inapplicable. With the unique ability to detect and autonomously respond to subtle, novel threats across the cloud and beyond, hundreds of organizations are turning to AI technologies for the answer. In this white paper from Darktrace, explore why current approaches leave organizations with conspicuous security gaps and how AI can be leveraged to fight back against all threat types, from insider threat to data exfiltration.

SecurityScorecard - The Business Case for Investing in a Security Ratings Platform

According to the Verizon 2017 Data Breach Investigations Report, 75% of breaches are a result of issues around third-party security. Unfortunately, most assessment techniques used to determine a business partner’s cyber readiness are point-in-time and only express a vendor’s cyber health at a particular moment. The problem with these types of audits is that a vendor’s cyber posture can change overnight due to systems and network modifications that are made. In this white paper from SecurityScorecard and HMG Strategy, discover how a security ratings platform can help companies to continually monitor and respond to changes in the cyber health of their vendor ecosystems.

In this white paper from Pure Storage and HMG Strategy, discover how to eliminate the “weakest link” of data bottlenecks that traditional storage solutions can impose by leveraging faster and more agile on-premise, public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud data storage environments.
